touch /tmp/logWebObjects
tail -f /tmp/CGIMessenger.log
This will log any activity of the WebObjects adaptor, and you will be able to trace the WebObjects Adaptor behavior as it tries to connect to the WebObjects application. Do not forget to remove the /tmp/logWebObjects file to stop the logs when you have successfully deployed your WebObjects application.
You can use Notepad to view the resulting CGIMessenger.log file. Keep in mind that the WebObjects Adaptor changes the contents of the CGIMessenger.log file as it responds to each request for a WebObjects application, so you may need to close and reopen the file in order to monitor the WebObjects Adaptor's activity.
